Motivated by the structural analogies between point lattices and linear error-correcting codes, and by the mature theory on locally testable codes, we initiate a systematic study of local testing for membership in lattices. Testing membership in lattices is also motivated in practice, by applications to integer programming, error detection in lattice-based communication, and cryptography. Apart from establishing the conceptual foundations of lattice testing, our results include the following… Expand

This work gives a general sufficient condition on the distribution μ for linearity to be tolerantly testable with a constant number of queries and shows that linearity is tolerant testable for several natural classes of distributions including low bias, symmetric and product distributions. Expand

This work revisits some recent constructions of LTCs and shows how one can make them locally testable in a tolerant sense, and defines such testers, which are called tolerant testers following some recent work in property testing. Expand
Lattice-Based Cryptography
An important question in the area is to determine the smallest factor g such that one can build cryptographic functions that are as hard to break as finding g-approximate solutions to lattice problems. Expand

It is shown that Construction by Code Formula produces a lattice packing if and only if the nested codes being used are closed under Schur product, thus proving the similarity of Construction D and Construction by code Formula when applied to Reed–Muller codes. Expand

This work shows that the Gowers norm test is tolerant, in that it also accepts close code words, and improves the parameters of an XOR lemma for polynomials given by Viola and Wigderson for graph properties. Expand
Proof verification and the hardness of approximation problems

It is proved that no MAX SNP-hard problem has a polynomial time approximation scheme, unless NP = P, and there exists a positive ε such that approximating the maximum clique size in an N-vertex graph to within a factor of Nε is NP-hard. Expand

This work surveys known results regarding local testable codes and locally testable proofs (known as PCPs), with emphasis on the length of these constructs, with related concept of local decodable codes. Expand

It is shown how a recent technique can be used to solve α-BDD with pre-processing in polynomial time for α=O\left(\sqrt{(\log{n})/n}\right)\$, which improves upon the previously best known algorithm due to Klein. Expand
